(HISTORY OF GRUNDY COUNTY,MISSOURI, 1881 p715) JOHN AND MARK BUSHONG "John
and Mark are natives of Augusta County, VA. John and Mark were reared upon
a farm. In 1838 John learned the carpenter's trade and worked at the
business for eight years, then they came to Parke County, IN and there
John married, Elizabeth Noel, nee Puett. Her father was a native of
Kentucky, and her mother of North Carolina; the former died in 1851, and
the latter in 1861. After his marriage Mr Bushong continued to work at his
trade, in Indiana, till 1857, when he and his brother moved to Livingston
County, Missouri, and farmed till 1869, when they moved to Grundy County
and purchased a beautiful farm of 200 acres of choice fertile land. They
have lived together and done business together for over 33 years, and so
far there has never been a word of difference between them. They are
active and energetic men and alive to everything for the public good. They
are members of the Missionary Baptist Church."
